One thing is certain: There is a lack of business informaticians, yet the demand in business continues to grow. In an increasingly complex professional world, specialising in only one field is no longer advantageous. Therefore, business informatics is becoming more important as the link between business and informatics.

Automation technology works at the interface between electronics, informatics, mechanical engineering and business. The challenge when automating technical processes is to produce an optimum mix between mostly conflicting aspects of time, cost, quality, resources and the environment. Here it is important to consider the whole system instead of optimising individual components independently from one another. Modular solutions are therefore becoming increasingly more important.

Turn a flash of genius, a brilliant idea into success! As essential success factors, new innovations are constantly needed in businesses in order to gain a competitive edge. The best idea however, can only become a successful innovation if customer needs and market changes are considered. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important for companies to employ business engineers that have systematic innovation skills.

Business success and an efficient company organisation are not based on luck or coincidence, but on ideal strategic planning, leadership skills and state-of-the-art knowledge about processes in management accounting and business administration. The Degree Programme in Financial Accounting & Management Accounting offers cutting-edge and practice-oriented training based on the newest developments in the industry, equips you with the perfect tool kit to lead a company to success and move to top positions in international groups.

Modern Information Technologies

as a solution for challenges in management

Due to the change in significance and the steady development of information technologies in business and management, IT managers increasingly share their time between IT, on the one hand, and management, on the other. In future, demanding business tasks, such as increasing efficiency in business processes, need to be supported by the effective use of IT solutions. In order to do so, sound knowledge in the area of business system engineering and comprehensive management skills are required. Interdisciplinary knowledge, social skills and mastering modern management tools and systems are the main skills which IT professionals possess.

The principal focus of the Degree Programme therefore lies in the areas of business system engineering, information technologies and IT management, IT consulting, and service engineering.
